What lt claim is:

l. lna fender, the combination with a IVehicle, a horizontal telescopic stem mounted on the front thereof and projecting forwardly in thecenter line of the vehicle, resilient means for maintaining the same m a forward position hut permitting rearward titi movement under pressure, a horizontal rotatable roller mounted on the forward end of said stem, and laterally projecting Wheel fenders secured to the stem.

2. In fender, the combination with a Vehicle, a horizont-al telescopic stem mounted on the front thereto to swing transversely and projecting forwardly in the center line ot' the vehic e, balanced resilient means on opposite sides of the stein to maintain the latter iii a normal intermediate position, resilient means on the stein for maintaining the saine in the forward jiosition ont permitting rearward movement under pressure, an anti-friction wheel mounted on the foi'- Ward end of said stem, and laterally prooctiiiig ivlioel fenders secured to the stein and extending around the front and sides of the Vehicle wheels.

3. .il fender for vehicles comprising a forwardly projecting horiyoiital 'telescopic stein adapted to more rearwardly and swing lat cialjly to opj'iosite sides of the .feliicle, resilient hic-ans for resisting said rearward rasage@ movement, other resilient means for holding the stem in a median position, a horizontally rotatable roller mounted in the forward end of said stem, and a strap or band secured to each side of the stem in rear of the roller and extending laterally across the front and around the wheels of the Vehicle.

7i. A fender for vehicles comprising a forwardly projecting horizontal stein movable rearwardly, resilient means for resisting said rear Yard movement, a roller mounted in the forward end of said stem, a strap or hand secured on each side of said stem in rear of the roller and extending laterally around the front, side and rear of the front Wheels of the Vehicle, and resilient means acting on the rear ends of said bands for holding them in a forward position.

5. A. fender for vehicles comprising a horizontal forwardly projecting socket adapted te sving ltoward either side of the Vehicle, ,balanced resilient means on opposite sides of said socket to maintain it in a median position. a stem slidalile in said socket and fa-.tending beyond the front of the saine, aY roller nu inted in the forward end of said stem, re ilient means iritliin the socket tending to force the stem in a forward direction, straps secured to the stein in rear of the roller and extending laterally therefrom and around the front. wheels, and brake means for the front wheel fixed to said seem.

6 A fender for vehicles conipiisimgr a forwardly extending horizontal stein mounted to siifing transversely of the vehicle and rcsilieiitly supported against rearward movement, a balanced .spring connected to the stein on each side to normally maintain it in the median line of the vehicle, and a feuding Wheel device mounted on the forward ciid of the stem.

7. A fender for vehicles comprising a forwardly projecting horizontal socket pivotally mounted on the traiiie of the vehicle to swing transversely thereof, a stein slidalile in said socket and projecting hoyoud each end thereof, funding means seein-cf?, oii the forward end of said st'ciii, moans connected to the rear end for operating the oiiiergency brake trip, resilient moans within the socket tending to force the stein iii a forward direction, and springs secured to oppositie sides ol the `socket and to the Vehicle frame to normally hold said socket in the median line of the vehicle.
